Balance. Is it a Myth?

WooWoo Wednesday.....

"On the tightrope of life, only one thing allows us to move forward, and that one thing is balance. Without balance we fall into chaos, we fall behind, we miss out on what true choices we have in life.

Balance is acheived through awareness. Awareness of what we have on our plate. What is working and what is not. What feels good and what doesn't. Where we are and where we want to be.

 

With awareness, we have choice, the freedom to choose, free will. It is choice that gives us power. Power to choose. Power which is energy. Energy that allows us to move forward in alignment with our choices. We all want to live a full life, and the key to living a full life is finding the balance." —Laura Kangas

 

 

Balance. Is It A Myth?

Balance is a sticky subject among many of my clients. They have careers, partners, maybe children, family commitments, charity work, classes, hobbies, worship time—plus, big desires to uplevel their health. How can one possibly balance so many things?

 

I'm going to let you in on a little secret here: You cannot possibly balance so many things at one time. Not, at least, in the way you balance weight on a teeter-totter. That said, when people ask about life balance, what they usually want to know is how can you have more of what you want and less of what you don't want? How can you have more pleasure and less drudgery?

 

Personally, I think "harmony" is a better word than balance. To me, harmony means everything is co-existing in a spirit of cooperation. A much easier image than balance.

 

But harmony, balance, or whatever else you want to call "fitting it all in," there is a secret to doing more of what you want and less of what you don't want. Want to hear it?  (I just need to warn you that although the equation sounds simple, it actually takes massive willpower to execute. It also requires that you get absolutely clear on what you want your life to look like, and what you do not want in your life.)

 

Okay, here is my secret: First ask yourself what isn't serving you. What doesn't need to be in your life? What is dragging you down? Have you identified a few things?  Now get rid of them. Right this moment. (Or fix them. Pronto.)

 

Next, ask yourself what you want to accomplish in your life—or in this week or day. What do you desire? Focus on it. Or focus on them, becuase if you are like me, you have several desires going on at once: For me, it's living healthfully, having great relationships with people I love and running my awesome business.

 

Give it a try. I dare you. And see how much more harmonious your life can be.

 

So much love,

Stephanie
